Historian, Former Ambassador, Human Rights Activist

Next Saturday 15 March, the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, will see a day of global

protests. The London demonstration will assemble at 12 noon in Trafalgar Square and march down Whitehall on a route which will surround Parliament. The rally in Trafalgar Square will

highlight the disasters of five years and more of war.

Speakers will include Tony Benn, ex-SAS trooper Ben Griffin, representatives from Palestine, Green Party MEP Caroline Lucas, Lindsey German from Stop the War Coalition and film director Nick Broomfield. Joining us on the stage will be Omar Deghayes, recently released from the Guantanamo torture centre, where he was held for five years.

Thanks Peacewisher for the kind comments on the speech. However, I can't claim any credit for that as I think you must be thinking of a different, infinetely more famous, Andrew. Personally, I blame the royal family for the glut of Andrews that emerged from the maternity wards of England in the 60s and the resulting confusion.
